Hello everyone
I have been a long time Warhammer(40k, 30k, and Fantasy) for about 7 years now. Lately, I have been displease with gw lately(9th ed rumors, treatment of customers, prices, and lack of communication), and wish to try out malifaux. It would be great to have a game were I only need 20 models with about $100 cost instead of 100 to 200 models for about $700 plus. So after some research, I fell in love with the Resurrectionists and ten Thunders. So another player was selling an old metal Kirai crew with, one lost love, 2 extra seishin, 3 rotten belle, and 3 the drowned, so I bought it. I really can't wait to get started.
So here is some noobish question:
1. Which 2E rule book is a better value? One is bare bone rules for $15, but the other is $40 with back story.
2. What to buy? I plan to get the new plastic kirai crew set, fate deck, and Izuma the armor first. Also plan to get some gaki and two shikome once they become plastic. Am I missing anything? The aim is 35 ss for a start.
3. Any other general advice?
